Retail fraud

Sault Police were alerted to a possible retail fraud Wednesday after loss prevention personnel at an I-75 Business Spur retail store determined a woman had departed with a pair of ear buds in her possession.

Store employees provided police with the license plate number of the getaway vehicle and in a follow-up investigation the owner identified the female occupant.

Police were still in the process of trying to locate the woman when she returned to the store, admitting her role in the incident.

Hunter A. Captain, 18, of Kincheloe was subsequently arrested for retail fraud. She was released with a future court date after posting a $100 cash bond.
